We are in the process of part exchanging for a 4 bed detached new build persimmon home.
We are very wary of the leasehold part of it (999 years). It is the right house in the right location at a good price but information on the difference between leasehold and freehold houses seems quite limited for new builds and the only reason I can see for Persimmon selling it as such is that they make money by selling on the freehold.
Does anyone know whether we have an automatic right to buy the freehold after 2 years or will persimmon try to avoid this by wrapping up the lease In a company and selling it on?
Any other experiences of leasehold properties with Persimmion?
